Meanwhile, Chief Inspector Rodel Marcel of the Quezon City Police District’s Investigation and Detection Unit said they were able to resolve the crime because of the receipt of a purchased burger that was found in a plastic bag held by Rodelas when she was recovered.

A CCTV footage showed it was Quiambao who bought the burger in a fast food chain.

Authorities said it is still unclear as to why Rodelas had the burger, which Quiambao supposedly bought for Altamerano.

Marcel said the suspects also did not intend to tell the police about the crime but a motorist saw the incident and reported it to the authorities, who even caught Altamerano crying.

A witness was also able to get the plate number of the black Mitsubishi Montero, which was used when the victim was abducted near the World Trade Center last Tuesday.

Further investigation is still underway, with the police still trying to hunt down two more suspects. – from a report by Dennis Datu, dzMM
